(Source Chronicles of the Scotch Irish in Virginia by Chalkley) Historic Europeans (1750s - 1860s) According to Collins, the first voyage past the Falls of the Ohio was accomplished by Col. Richard Taylor, Hancock Taylor, Abraham Haptonstall and an unknown Barbour who left Pittsburgh and traveled to the mouth of the Yazoo river and eventually to New Orleans in 1769 (Collins 1874, Vol. I:16 and Collins 1874, Vol. II:358). On 8 July 1773 Capt. Thomas Bullitt, assisted by Col. James Harrod, John Smith, Isaac Hite, Abraham Haptonstall, James Douglas, Ebenezer Severns, John Fitzpatrick, and "others" came to the area. Apparently, the first camp was on a shoal above Sand Island. On 3 August 1773 they were joined by Handcock Taylor, Matthew Bracken, and Jacob Drennon. These two surveying parties were surveying warrants for Lord Dunmore (Governor of Virginia). These warrants extended from the mouth of the Salt River to Bullitt's Lick (near Shepherdsville) and north toward the present site of Louisville. In August of 1773 Capt. Bullitt laid out the town of Louisville (Collins 1874, Vol. I:17 and Vol II:358). Apparently, the land around the Falls of the Ohio, composed of 4000 acres (Casseday 1852:22), were patented and owned by John Campbell and Dr. John Connally (Casseday 1852:21). Connally was apparently the nephew of Colonel [William] Croghan and Lord Dunmore (ibid.). 1773 KY - With Bullitt's surveying party in 1773 were James Douglas, James Harrod, James Sodousky, Isaac Hite, Abraham Haptonstall, Ebenezer Severns, John Fitzpatrick, John Cowan, --prominent names in later Kentucky history, --and possibly others.

Surname: Haptonstall, Babb, Wilson It would certainly help all if you would use some dates in your postings. First of all which Abraham are you talking about having come from NJ with wife Mary? I have not ever seen any information about Abraham b 1735 ever haveing been in NJ. Abraham b. 1759-61 was in N.J according to his pension papers for 18 months. Abraham b. 1735 did not marry Mary Babb Wilson until 1775, a year after her husband died at war in 1774. 1. James Wilson (son of William) married Elizabeth Hempenstall(Haptonstall) 29 March 1785 2. Elibab Wilson (son of Mary and Samuel) married Hannah Hempenstall(Haptonstall) 22 Oct 1788. 3. Samuel Blagg married Jemima Hempenstall (Haptonstall) in 1795. In 1766-1767 Hancock Taylor was in Greenbrier County Va with Abraham Haptonstall b. 1735. In 1769-1771 Abraham Haptonstall b. 1735 was with Hancock Taylor surveying the Western country. On Sept 10th 1768 Elizabeth Haptonstall was born. In 1768 Abraham Haptonstall b 1735 secured 112 acres of land from William and Mary Wilson on New Found Creek. Witness in Augusta County court. Does any one have proof of the name of the father of Elizabeth Haptonstall b. 1768. Does any one know where Abraham Haptonstall b. 1735 was at during the year 1768? According to my records Hannah Haptonstall was the daughter of Isaac Haptonstall according to a consent to marry dated in 1788 and signed by Isaac Haptonstall. Jemima could very possiable be the daughter of Abraham b 1735 and Mary Babb Wilson. Right time frame. >From Morton's History of Highland County pg. 381 Hempenstall, Abraham - came from N.J. (w. Mary) 1 Abraham - s 2 Hannah - m. Eli B. Wilson 3 Elizabeth - m. James Wilson 4 Jemima - m. Samuel Blagg This same exact listing was also found in EXTINCT FAMIIES only on page 377. |
